Webmaster's Note:
This "Close-Up" appeared only in some TVG editions. Also, this episode never aired as scheduled -- surprisingly, by the print TVG exclusively -- its online counterpart, plus most other online listings, listed the actual episode for the 8PM slot instead, a repeat of Dayscare / The Great Unknown / Falling Stars. And it looks like the coming weeks will be mainly repeats of the newer episodes at 8PM. |
